Decide on one that best fits your work experience, educational background, and skill set. Take the time to customize your resume it is well worth the effort as it wont seem copied. When formatting your resume, use a basic font that is easy to read, both for hiring managers and for applicant management systems. Google also favors the simple over the complex. Many fonts make your resume clear and easy to read while retaining your individual style.

Adding numbers to your resume shows employers in black-and-white fashion what you have accomplished at work. Not all of your achievements are quantifiable, but adding those that are can serve as powerful negotiation tools when the topic of salary arises. Include all your contact information so that employers can easily get in touch with you. Give your full name, street address, city, state, zip code, phone number, and email address. If you have a LinkedIn profile or professional website, include those links as well. Under some circumstances, you might want not want to include your entire mailing address, but it is generally good practice to do so.

Typically each kind of invoice follows a similar format. Your business may call for unique specifics like clauses, return policies, or disclaimers. Make sure to adapt the invoices you create to fit your distinct business needs. Because every business is different, you will likely need to customize your invoices. One of the most important modifications you can make is adding an electronic payment method. Luckily, there are many tools out there that make this super easy. The most common example is PayPal, but we will talk a little about this later.
